Is It Justin Timberlake's Fault That Britney Spears Went Crazy?

On Friday, lawyers for BRITNEY SPEARS and her family gave their opening statement in the defamation trial brought against the family by Britney's former manager Sam Lutfi.

--And here's something interesting we found out: Britney's insanity may have been JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S FAULT.

--The attorneys said that before her relationship with Justin, Britney was a, quote, "ray of light." But the relationship "ended painfully", and she became angry and depressed afterward.

--The breakup started a downward spiral that included Britney's impulsive and brief marriage to a childhood friend named Jason "Not the Guy From 'Seinfeld'" Alexander.

--Ironically, the KEVIN FEDERLINE years were actually a RELIEF to Britney's parents . . . because they represented a relatively calm period. But after THEY split up, Britney went off the deep end again.

--That's when Sam came in, and made things WORSE. The attorneys said, quote, "At the point that she is at her most vulnerable, she meets Mr. Lutfi" . . . who was "totally unqualified to manage a superstar."

--One of the attorneys also claimed that Sam would hide Britney's dog and watch her go mental over it . . . then play the hero by "finding" it for her.

Michael Lohan Showed Up at Lindsay's House to Stage an "Intervention"

LINDSAY LOHAN'S psycho dad MICHAEL showed up at her house on Friday with a few other people . . . supposedly to stage an "intervention".

--They were met at the door by a guy who claimed to be Lindsay's boyfriend. He refused to let Michael and his crew in. Someone inside Lindsay's house even called the cops to come straighten things out. Eventually everyone left.

--Now, I know what your first thought is: Michael Lohan is just looking for publicity and a way to force his way back into Lindsay's life again.

--But he claims that everyone from Lindsay's manager to her attorneys are in his corner. And TMZ claims to have seen e-mails that prove it.

--In one e-mail, Michael says that she's drinking, quote, "between a bottle and a bottle and a half of vodka per day." He also suggests she's snorting cocaine and using Adderall.

--And Lindsay's manager says he's been hearing the same things.

--Sources close to Lindsay say she has NOT relapsed and doesn't need treatment.

--She thinks her dad is doing this to her because she completely cut him off after he recorded the phone conversation they had when she and her mom DINA got into that fight in the back of a limo.
